<p>He'll assert all sorts of things with no basis. It's called delusion and unwillingness to face facts. Hence, you're wasting your time. I've tilted that windmill before. You'll never convince anyone that is not truly open to facts.</p>

<p>I'm sure he would find a way to say the two's genes were created to be two entirely separate structures. Just for the sake of variation. </p>

<p>I like to think that truth can be surmised even if the question has been put into parameters. Of course it's far more difficult to do so, but I still believe it can be done. </p>

<p>What he is saying is that these extra bits died with their owners. What he would say is that when the two combined,? whatever was not combined in those offspring was lost forever. And humans have been slowly losing information because of this. I do cede sometimes information will not appear in the genetic material of the offspring that was found in the parents, this could cause a loss of information assuming only two people exist to produce offspring at the start. </p>

<p>How would we be losing? There aren't extra bits that float off. While they retain bits, they get bits from BOTH parents.</p>
<p>Ask him with whom Cain and Able mated?</p>
<p>Does he really think God commanded incest?</p>
<p>Then again, with Noah?</p>

<p>What he is championing is that we would be losing half of the genetic information if we began only with two. Which would be true, and it continues to be true that only half of each parents genes are passed. So we still are only retaining a part of each in every unique individual. I know I don't have to argue at that level, but for the sake of debate I have to start with that presupposition. I was wondering if there was anyway to disprove that notion when starting with…</p>
